CALIFORNIA DREAMS, HORN OF AFRICA’S HOPE
Somalia has been in constant state of political turmoil and unrest for 20 years. Coupled with a lack of proper rainfall for 3 seasons, has snowballed into the worst drought in Somalia for over 60 years causing devastation no words can describe.
“Islamic Relief hasn’t used the words starvation and famine in any of their appeals over the past decade. What is happening in East Africa now due to the drought is unprecedented and is leaving millions hungry. We must act now.”
- Jehangir Malik, Director of Islamic Relief UK
The worst humanitarian crisis in the world.These are words many have used to describe this crisis in the Horn of Africa, the California Somali and East African community have united with Islamic Relief USA to bring about awareness and ask for aid to this ever growing humanitarian disaster. Dreaming of being the few who answer the cries of the many women and children in need of the basic necessities of life.Please donate generously towards this important humanitarian cause throughIslamic Relief USA http://www.islamicreliefusa.org/east-africa-crisis
